<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, your observations are correct that you can't
use the old bracket/rail positions to set the new bracket or rail location.
I have the data somewhere, but not in front of me, Young Chang can provide it -
up to a certain year or serial number the action spread should be set to X,
after that time/serial-number the action spread should be set to Y. YC provides
that data on a sheet that should be included with the brackets you received from
them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You are right though, forget what you have - it is
warped way out of spec. Put the new brackets in, set your action spread, check
and adjust bracket height and go from there.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have started my first of several grands YC
Brackets to replace......This one has had previous regulations to compensate
for the expanding brackets issue. The hammer flange screws barely
cleared the bottom of pinblock getting it out of the piano!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> At first I was very careful to remove one
bracket at a time and install that new bracket before moving on to
the next one .....but now, I realize that was not practical as the brackets
have changed/distorted over the years and so has other relationship deminsions
over the years, SO......</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This piano action is from a WG57 (Weber)
model and currently measures 114mm on both ends! (This is after I
have replaced all brackets with the new ones.) Okay, tell me this
way off??!!!</FONT></DIV>
